Phillies Could Play It Safe With Andrew Painter

The Philadelphia Phillies are high on right-handed pitching prospect Andrew Painter, especially after he just looked dominant in the Arizona Fall League, but they will surely limit his innings in 2025. Painter is one of the best pitching prospects in baseball, but he'll also turn 22 in April of next year and has problems with injuries in the past. He made six shortened starts in the AFL and logged 15 2/3 innings while being named the league's top pitcher, but he will be limited in 2025 in his first full season back from Tommy John surgery. The Phillies would prefer to have Painter at the back of their rotation later in 2025, which means he might not pitch spring training games to preserve his innings. It means that the Phillies need a plan for the back of their rotation in the early portion of the season. Painter's fantasy value will be limited in 2025, but there's no doubt his stuff makes him a high-upside, long-term fantasy starter.

Andrew Painter Earns AFL Pitcher Of The Year Honors

Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Andrew Painter won Pitcher of the Year honors for his performance during the Arizona Fall League. The 21-year-old threw 15 2/3 innings (six starts) during the fall campaign, posting a 2.30 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, and a 4:18 BB:K. He was one of the top pitching prospects when he was drafted 13th overall in 2021, but elbow problems and eventually Tommy John surgery caused him to miss significant time, having last pitched in 2022 prior to the fall season. It certainly looks like he's back to full health and could be a solid fantasy contributor in the not-too-distant future. Per MLB.com's top prospect list, the tall righty is expected to make his MLB debut in 2025.

Andrew Painter Strikes Out Six In Latest AFL Start

Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Andrew Painter had another strong start in the Arizona Fall League (AFL) on Tuesday, striking out six batters in 2 2/3 innings while allowing just one earned run on two hits and two walks. It brings his AFL ERA to 2.30 with a 0.89 WHIP, .189 average against, and a 4:18 BB:K over 15 2/3 innings. The 21-year-old is the Phillies' top pitching prospect but hasn't pitched during the regular season since finishing the 2022 season at Double-A, missing all of 2023 and 2024 while recovering from elbow problems and ultimately Tommy John surgery. The former first-round draft pick looks good so far and will likely have a shot to make the big-league rotation come spring. However, there would almost certainly be some type of innings limit implemented, which of course would be unfortunate for fantasy. MLB.com's top-prospects list ranks the 6-foot-7 righty as No. 32 overall, offering strong strikeout potential combined with excellent command. He should already be stashed in dynasty formats despite missing so much time.

Andrew Painter Dominating In Arizona Fall League

Philadelphia Phillies right-handed pitching prospect Andrew Painter (elbow), the No. 32 overall prospect in baseball per MLB Pipeline, has been dominant with his four-pitch mix so far in the Arizona Fall League, posting a 2.08 ERA, 0.77 WHIP, 12 strikeouts and only two walks in his 13 innings pitched. It's excellent news for the Phillies after Painter missed the last two seasons while recovering from Tommy John surgery. The 21-year-old has been able to get strikeouts with three different pitches in the AFL, and his four-seam fastball has gotten up to the high-90s on the radar gun. His changeup has been a work in progress. Perhaps the greatest sign for Painter is that his control has been spot on, which is what made him such a high-end prospect in the first place. The Phillies could take things slow with the 6-foot-7 hurler in 2025, but he should already be stashed in dynasty/keeper leagues.

Andrew Painter To Pitch In Arizona Fall League

The Philadelphia Phillies will send right-handed pitching prospect Andrew Painter (elbow), the team's top pitching prospect and No. 32 overall in MLB, to the Arizona Fall League so that he can face live hitters before the offseason. Painter is recovering from Tommy John surgery on his right elbow and started throwing off a mound back in July. The 21-year-old will be pitching in games for the first time in 2022. The former 13th overall pick in 2021 stands at 6-foot-7 and 215 pounds and should make his major-league debut at some point in 2025 if he can avoid the injury bug. Painter features a legitimate four-pitch mix on the mound with a fastball that can touch triple digits. He also has a two-seam fastball, a put-away slider and a curveball in his repertoire. Painter's size, stuff and feel for pitching has ace potential at the next level for the Phillies.

Andrew Painter Throws To Hitters

Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Andrew Painter (elbow) threw to live hitters for the first time on Wednesday against minor-leagues for the first time since having Tommy John surgery on July 24 of 2023. Painter sat at 97-98 mph with his fastball and hit 99 mph while throwing 15 pitches, according to the team. "They said it went very well," said manager Rob Thomson. "It was 15 pitches. If all goes well, he'll throw that 15 pitch-BP every three days, for the time being." Painter is scheduled to throw another live bullpen session on Saturday. The No. 2 prospect in the system, per MLB Pipeline, hasn't pitched in a game since March 1 of last year in spring training. The Phillies have said they aren't going to rush him, and the expectation is that Painter will not pitch in a big-league game until 2025. But when Painter does return, he has a legitimate chance to win a spot in the team's starting rotation.

Andrew Painter Throws Off Mound

Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Andrew Painter (elbow) has progressed to throwing off the mound for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery in late July of 2023. It's big news for the No. 19 overall prospect, per MLB Pipeline. Despite his progress, the right-hander isn't expected to return to game action until 2025. Painter, 21, was arguably the best pitcher on the farm in 2022, where he worked to a 1.56 ERA with 155 strikeouts in 103 1/3 innings between Single-A and Double-A. The right-hander will need to shake off the rust during his recovery, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see Painter in Philadelphia in 2025. He should already be rostered in dynasty leagues, and those in redraft leagues should monitor him for the 2025 campaign.

Andrew Painter Not Expected To Pitch In 2024

Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Andrew Painter (elbow) isn't expected to pitch at all in 2024 after having Tommy John surgery last July. "Painter's rehab is going fine...He's just tossing at this point, which is where he should be. I don't really look for Andrew to pitch this year. I'm looking towards 2025. I guess you can always be surprised, but I don't want to put that pressure on him," president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said. The 20-year-old could go on a rehab assignment in the minor leagues later this year, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect the young hard-throwing hurler to pitch in the majors until 2025. Painter also missed all of the 2023 campaign, so the Phillies are going to take it slow with him and he'll surely be on a strict innings limit next year.

Andrew Painter Undergoing Tommy John Surgery

Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Andrew Painter (elbow) will have Tommy John surgery on Tuesday in Los Angeles on his right elbow. Doctors recommended that Painter have Tommy John surgery last week, and that surgery will take place on Tuesday. It's a tough break for the 20-year-old right-hander, who is ranked as the team's top overall prospect, per MLB Pipeline. Painter is still worth stashing because of his immense upside in deep dynasty/keeper leagues, but fantasy managers that were holding onto him in deep redraft leagues in 2023 can officially cut bait. There's a chance that Painter won't even pitch at all next season, and if he does, it most likely won't be in the major leagues.

Surgery Recommended For Andrew Painter

The Philadelphia Phillies medical staff has recommended that pitching prospect Andrew Painter (elbow) undergo right-elbow UCL reconstruction with ulnar-nerve transposition surgery. It's a bit of a surprise after recent test results showed that Painter's UCL was healing. The No. 8 overall prospect in all of baseball, per MLB Pipeline, will miss the rest of this year and most likely most of 2024 if he indeed has Tommy John surgery. The 20-year-old hard-throwing right-hander has a very promising future in Philadelphia's starting rotation, but this injury is certainly going to set him back some and put a damper on his dynasty/keeper status in fantasy for the time being. Fantasy managers that have been stashing Painter in deep redraft leagues can now drop him for another arm.
